For (low) bandwidth metrics yes, for any kind of latency sensitive workload not really.

The extra decompression on top of the data fetch latency can be quite noticeable. Sometimes that can be offset if the compression ratio is affecting a hitrate, and thereby decreasing the latency. The problem of course is that even with 10M IOP storage devices frequently it is really latency and an inability to keep 100k requests outstanding that limit perf to one's IO turnaround latency.

Put another way, compressed ram and disk are really popular in systems which are RAM constrained, or bandwidth limited because the cost of fetching 2x the data vs 1x and decompressing it is a win (think phones with emmc). The problem is that this doesn't really make sense on high end NVMe (or for that matter desktops/servers with a lot of RAM) where the cost of fetching 8k vs 4k is very nearly identical because the entire cost is front loaded on the initial few bytes, and after than the transfer overhead is minimal. Its even hard to justify on reasonable HD/RAID systems too for bandwidth tests since any IO that requires a seek by all the disks will then tend to flood the interface. AKA it takes tens of ms for the first byte, but then the rest of it comes in at a few GB/sec and decompressing at faster rates takes more than a single core.

edit: And to add another dimension, if the workload is already CPU bound, then the additional CPU overhead of compress/decompress in the IO path will likely cause a noticeable hit too. I guess what a lot of people don't understand is that a lot of modern storage systems are already compressed at the "hardware" layer by FTL's/etc.
> People who use dynamically-typed languages are finally realizing that having to simulate a type-checker mentally is a bad idea.

It cuts both ways. Some days type advocates recognize why their type language is not their host language i.e., there is a such a thing as too much types.

If you believe types can express anything, and more over they are the best at expressing it then why do you need the host language, why not to program using just types.

There is no silver bullet. Types won't make your code bug free.

What programming language do you know that uses types to express most tests?

I got the Leap v2 last summer, also from Crandall/BTOD, but ended up giving it to my brother and getting a HermanMiller Embody. It's much more expensive and harder to find used, but when you buy direct from HermanMiller you get a free return period so it's a risk free trial.

To me the Leap was comfortable and wasn't bad, but just didn't feel 100% right. The Embody is just perfect. 100% worth the cost. And the materials/construction also feel much more premium.

There are plenty of reviews on YouTube as well as https://blog.szynalski.com/, but ultimately you can't be sure unless you sit in one yourself - every person will find the fit and comfort to be different. SteelCase Leap v2 & SteelCase Gesture and HM Embody seem to be the top three. HM has a 15% off sale in the summer and end of year.
I would have used the word "percentage" rather than "percent". I wonder if the slightly more precise english would have helped?
The Supercharger is definitely faster, but a Bolt on a CCS DC Type-3 charger is slower, but in the same league.

On the other hand, the "user experience" of every Type-3 charger I've seen is terrible. The chargers are often in inconvenient places, the super thick cables are very short, and then you've got to try a couple of times to get the charger and the car to talk to each other and get the payment sorted out. Tesla wins on this hands down, and it's not even close.

Oddly enough, the Type-2 experience isn't nearly as bad. Other than requiring 6+ hours to charge...
I’ve seen it work before, but it’s rare.

The algorithms don’t encourage reading of responses like that typically... and, alas, human nature doesn’t really encourage people to “like” or “love” or otherwise strongly react to messages like that.
I feel like the author started with a good analogy, but then missed an important angle that more readily explains the "crazy" part of crazy beliefs:

In a sufficiently-large workplace, you'll start to encounter office politics and the office "culture", both of which end up influencing the makeup of the employees in that workplace - be it through hiring decisions, promotion/demotion decisions, and even terminations (voluntary or otherwise). Before you know it, the overall culture and political environment of that workplace becomes entrenched. It's a sort of internal cronyism - one which maintains consistency within the organization, rather than a pursuit of meritocracy or an attempt to appease an external force.

Taking this metaphor to the brain, once a belief is "hired", there's a certain barrier to "firing" it; even assuming there are no labor laws in the State of Brainia, there's a bit of a sunk cost in each belief that makes it undesirable to "fire" that belief, and therefore each belief has some impact on the "workplace culture" and "office politics" of the mind: each belief will impart its pressure on other beliefs, forming cliques and pushing out beliefs that don't conform.

Thus lies the path from reasonable things like "I believe pharmaceutical companies will do whatever they believe will maximize profit" to... less reasonable things like "I believe Bill Gates is using COVID vaccines to inject 5G tracking chips in the global population". And worse, that's what makes it so difficult to actually convince someone about the craziness of such beliefs: those beliefs are already entrenched. Instead of trying to un-entrench such beliefs, it's better to address the proliferation of misinformation at the source: by propagating "inoculation" beliefs that entrench themselves before the "crazier" beliefs can take hold.
The beauty of Apple's solution is around ubiquity. There are piles of Apple devices with iOS versions that support this.

Not panning it, and maybe it'll work with Android eventually. But as it is I can't see bothering with this.
More than 21M Bitcoin possible: Code CAN be changed. Will it be?
"No one actually knows what will happen when the cap is hit and no more Bitcoin will be rewarded for mining. The idea is that the network will be self-sustaining by this point. Transaction fees are expected to compensate node operators since mining will no longer yield coins.

It is possible miners may flee the Bitcoin network for more lucrative currencies. This would harm the network and make the dreaded 51% attack more possible. It is also possible the Bitcoin protocol will be changed to allow for more than 21 million coins.

This IS possible. Code can be changed. One wonders what might happen to BTC value was this to happen suddenly and without warning. Insiders would make a killing shorting the coin if they knew ahead of time. However, this type of speculation is for another essay."
That isn't Front Running - by definition.

Front Running is when you receive an order from a large client and you yourself trade in the same stock before them, and then sell the stock to them, or allow the spread to narrow and pocket the difference.

High frequency trading is not front running unless it illegally takes data from the client trading desk - which would be both obvious and highly illegal.
>Do I complain that I need to install Sonos and Prime Music and Apple Play once to do what I want?

No, because there is no easily available alternative to this that gets rid of those pain points in you example. While for EVs, there is. Hence the whole disappointment.

It is much more difficult to accept inconveniences, when you have an option available that shows you that it is possible to perform the exact same functions, but without dealing with those inconveniences.

This is particularly high praise for simple HTML as the shit part is likely the PSP's UI, which is of course out of the control of the website, whereas the it worked part is due to the PSP's browser and the website both working adequately.

> Fighting perfection over progress is tough.

I agree. The struggle is real when trying to learn the "right" way to do something. However, progress can still happen (even if it is in the "wrong" direction). I'm okay scrapping a feature or even an entire project when trying something new. I've learned how not to do something and, more importantly, the reason behind that.

Make a list of the distinct demographic categories in your hiring pool, ordered by size. You may be surprised. Depending on location and role, “Trump Voter and offended non-Trump Voter” could easily be second only to “Male non-Trump voter”, i.e. ahead of “Female non-Trump voter”. In many places it would certainly be the largest distinct demographic. That should give you pause.

Unless you define “tech hiring pool” as “recent college grads living in the Bay Area”. But even there the numbers are material.
I mean, maybe, but I'm not sure where you're going with this. If WSB members find it patronizing to be told "this is a bad trade and you'll almost surely lose money", and spitefully resolve to make the trade more and more in response, that seems like a problem with WSB and not with the investor opinions.
Funny I have a new red flag word, it used to be on the internet when you saw the first reference to someone being a Nazi you knew to start taking a critical look at what the accuser was saying but we have invented so many of them now to try to create one word labels to dismiss other peoples positions, stuff like gaslighting, dog whistling now I have to look for sea lioning. What these all have in common is they try to project negative light on the person they are used against and make the reader view their information negatively. It's absurd to me, that asking for some reference and citation to the subject at hand, now has a label word to dismiss it, out of hand. It's been a while since I have been in higher education, but IIRC citation and references where pretty much the basis of research and publication of ideas.
I think what's been seen is after videos of the protests and buildings burning etc there is a crush of non-protestors running to get guns.

Locally there may be also a sense that at least in some jurisdictions policing has decreased and/or crime has increased - ie, you are more on your own now - faith in govt is maybe a bit diminished.

And now of course some of the right wing protestors are showing up heavily armed - but I think they always bought guns because they often seem like gun nuts.
I'm fairly educated on these things, and I'm a racial minority married to a white woman with mixed kids, and I'm still not sure I understand what people mean when they refer to "white privilege."

I get that there is a distinct cultural bias against Black people (what people call "anti-Blackness"). Living in the south this was quite apparent to me. This is structural in nature, and quite distinct from normal majority/minority dynamics.

But I don't perceive any similar "white privilege." To go to your resume example, I've got a last name that's definitely Muslim, but I've never perceived any sort of difference in response on that basis. (And in myriad areas, from income policing to health, statistically I'm likely to enjoy advantages compared to white people.) I think the concept of "white privilege" is actually a conceptual error that comes from generalizing Black-white racial dynamics to a multi-ethnic society.

Also, to address your point about the KKK member, the left uses "racism" to mean a lot more than just that. Based on that expansive definition of "racism" I'd qualify use of phrases like "unbearable whiteness" as "racism": https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/01/the-unbearable-white...
Congrats on the launch! Looks interesting.

I found some of your comments a bit strange though... are you suggesting that any of those other tools host your secrets in plain text? I never used EnvKey, but what's crazy about their desktop GUI?

I'm obviously biased, but for our own use, I created a small open-source wrapper called envwarden[0] that uses Bitwarden to manage our server secrets. I trust Bitwarden already with plenty sensitive stuff and I'm sure it's not stored in plaintext anywhere. The GUIs aren't crazy but rather simple. They have browser add-ons, mobile apps, desktop apps, plus CLI that envwarden interfaces with...

Not affiliated with Bitwarden in any way. Just happy customers and also happy to create a simple way to manage your server secrets with it.

So the only thing that makes a Tesla charging station different from the rest is that they appear in the map of the Tesla app? That sounds reasonable, but I don't understand how it can be a "killer feature or Tesla" when Ford could just show them in their electric cars.

A Quest to Find a Highly Compressed Emoji Shortcode Lookup Function
Yeah its funny I feel like the "meme" internet for teenagers was way worse if shocking content is worse when I was young. There were so many NSFL websites too like stileproject, rotten, ogrish, etc. that everyone knew about and so much weird stuff on the pirating websites and gif sites back then that you don't really see anymore outside of the dark web.

I'm pretty convinced that just a "dumb" web 1.0 site of shocking content is way better for your mental health than a handful of giant corporations honing in on your psyche and exploiting the weaknesses of the human mind.

It's just a fact, sorry if it sounded patronizing. Also - this things happen periodically in the market (check the short squeeze on Volkswagen)

Yes - there is a short squeeze, but those redditors gains are only on paper. The stock may even go to 10,000$ from here - nobody knows. But at some point, those short sellers will cover or go bankrupt and the stock will be back to its 'fundamental' price - whatever it is, but certainly not 330$ that we see right now.

It's pretty obvious that there has been an enlarging wealth gap and poverty rate has increased. What I don't understand is that the current narrative is to attribute such unfortunate events to systemic racism. Shouldn't we at least look at class difference, shift of industry trend, impact of policies, i.e., take the holistic view?
Your link is much better at demonstrating what they want to in the top level link.

Showa Kinen is clearly two different areas. Or if the telephoto lens is the area in the background, it's zoomed in to a degree that makes it not really the same area being pictured.

Whereas in yours, they have easily identifiable people and landmarks so you can tell they're the same place and that not much has moved.

If you ever do find something similar I'd love to know. I have a friend at Kevala, doing this privately in the US. But otherwise, yeah, seems to be a dark art.
And because of this ship it is easy to see how expensive topside removal must be. The vessel costed some 2.5B or so. Recovering that in a few dozen decommissionings means a Hugh price. And don't forget the operational cost of a crew of a few hundred, easily adds up to a few 100k/day. Then the topside, probably full of toxic flame retardants and asbestos needs to be dealt with.

I found Apple Music just as bad for discovery as Spotify in fact I was surprised that when I did the trial last year when I would start a station from an artist or a song I would get pretty much identical tracks to Spotify it was so weird that I am almost sure Apple had access to my listening history from using Spotify on my iPhone.

Amazon seems to work right now and I was pleasantly surprised that Spotify et al hasn’t killed internet radio yet.

“and my understanding is economics tells us that there will ALWAYS be unemployment”

Will there? In my state just a couple years ago traditional minimum wage jobs could not be filled. State minimum wage was around $7 an hour and every fast food restaurant and grocery store had big signs out front offering $11 or $12 an hour.

In general, it would seem that if everyone was free to offer work at any price, and everyone was free to accept work at any price, yes, some very low value jobs would race to the bottom, but those would be jobs that don’t even exist right now due to minimum wage laws. Many more people would be able to get at least some job, and in many cases wages would naturally go up without the need of government coercion.

It's been really incredible to watch the "shut it down!" crowd work comfortably from home while watching their 401k rise while the rest of America suffers. Meanwhile small businesses (which employ a disproportionate amount of minorities) basically get rolled into the trash. California effectively mandated they go out of business.

The icing on the cake is seeing politician after politician get caught breaking their own rules. Nancy Pelosi visits a nail salon while the state ordered every other nail salon out of business. It's sick and it's dumb and a large portion of the country couldn't care less.

> What is “not ok” is the fact that switching to a GPL based license forces projects depending on the code like CrateDB to use a fork since it kills the business model.

If your business model cannot survive when a critical upstream piece of your infrastructure moves to GPL, you probably have a bad business model to begin with.

They say:

> We would never have chosen Elasticsearch in the first place, had it been licensed under the GPL as some of our customers (and many large enterprises do by default) banned GPL licensed software from their application stacks for legal risks.

Which is completely new to me. There are numerous examples of software that has a successfull business model, and is GPL or GPL compatible. From WordPress to MySQL, and from ProtonMail to PostgreSQL (GPL compatible). Used in enterprise, and other large organisations, just fine.

It sounds like they are making up excuses for not wanting to fully Open Source their code; which is fine. But don't blame upstream for your reluctance or inability to adhere to this.
